Wondering which food items you need to order from each restaurant in Yakuza 6 in order to get bonus EXP on top of the perks you're already getting from eating? We've put together a full list of all 30 menu combinations in the game, for restaurants in Kamurocho and Onomichi.
You'll be doing a lot of eating in Yakuza 6, whether it's to restore lost health, fill up an empty stomach gauge, or figure out the best meal choice after a session at the RIZAP gym. Each restaurant provides a slight experience bonus, on top of the points you'll already receive for each individual morsel, for ordering a specific combination of menu items. Whether you're a completionist out for that platinum or just looking to maximize your playthrough, it's worth keeping these combos in mind whenever you need to eat. It's basically free bonus experience for something you'll already be doing all the time.
If you're already full, you won't be able to get the EXP bonuses for Menu Combinations, so if you need to burn off some calories, head out to the streets and beat up some thugs.
Under the Other Skills submenu of Kiryu's stats, you'll be able to unlock skills that increase your stomach gauge (from the base of 100 all the way up to 200), your rate of digestion and how much EXP you get from food. There are five upgrades for each of these three traits, and they're worth investing in early.

Yakuza 6 Menu Combination Achievements
Menu combinations in Yakuza 6 are tied to three achievements. Here are the rewards you'll get for unlocking each one; they're pretty modest on their own, but easy enough to do while you're focusing on other sidequests.
- Discover three types of menu combos: 20 points of each kind of EXP
- Discover 10 types of menu combos: 25 points of each kind of EXP
- Discover all types of menu combos: 30 points of each kind of EXP
Note: a couple of the combos aren't at restaurants, but at bars. For instance, one of them is at Snack Bar Gaudi in Onomichi, the site of another minigame unto itself, which can be easy to miss.
